As I study the word of God, I like to write down what I learnt and this is what I took from a reading this morning.
Satan comes in all forms, shapes and sizes. He will come through unexpected avenues, don't always think it will be obvious. He may use someone you are with daily to throw some doubts or temptations in subtle, seemly harmless ways. Mathew 16:22 Satan came through Peter..
So what do we do? - We ask God for guidance in discerning this and rebuking Satan away from us, not the person but the evil spirit. Mathew 16:23a But he turned around and said to Peter "Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me.... Now, this is tricky isn't it? you do not want to be labeled as the crazy person that goes around rebuking people.. but you need to cast the demons away from you, do not just agree to please the person thus accepting what they may be speaking in your life that you should not be accepting or even do not agree with, Most importantly things that are not of God.
